I just finished watching Blade of the Immortal, and it doesn't really end, there's a lot of thing left open. The series seems like it could have a second season, and I know there's enough manga out to make one. So has anyone heard any word on this? I'd hate to see this one go the way of Berserk.

Considering how poorly Bee Train adapted it, I don't think we'll see one any time soon. Perhaps someday there'll be a reboot done by a more competent studio.

Bee Train also is not in the habit of making sequels to anything as far as I know. When they're done, they're done.
Also if Blade of the Immortal went the way of Berserk that would actually be good since that's getting continued. |

ooh cool can always trust ANN sources. Well better not be a crummy revamp of the already produced 25 episodes. Those typical suck.
Hope they continue with story, well Berserk manga does get a bit dry after 200s. It loses awe. |

Haven't heard anything solid on new episodes. As far as I know they were planning it in the near future though, and releasing a remastered version until then. I've heard the creator wont allow anymorw Berserk to be produced until he finishes, or until he passes. May not be long though given his health. Don't know how much any sources can be trusted, there has been a lot on a second season of Berserk since the first finished. Would love to see both of these continued though.

Till he finishes or passes? LOL have you read the Berserk manga lately? For Dark Fantasy fine. Story-wise? It [expletive] SUCKS now lol. Too many times you can tell the author has no idea what to do with the story anymore. Manga way past overdue already. I think the issues are:
1. times move on 2. well today's kids don't enjoy the violence that is depicted in Berserk. 3. Friends, family, love, communion, and all that mushy crap is what sells. Yeah, that's not Berserk. Well the lesson learned here is that too much of the same thing + crappy story = fail. Berserk is not story driven anymore. Instead the author did the old bait and switch. Now, Berserk is just about ravaging women, bestiality, and gore. I believe after 300+ chapters of that, the typical person would get bored unless he (funny if she) likes to watch women get raped by dogs, rats, and horses. Despite the downhill trend the manga has taken, I too would like to see a sequel that's true to the manga. Berserk is praised for its uniqueness. Ironically, that trait is also its greatest flaw, hence the long wait for this new adaptation. |

You know Production I.G had just of much of a hand in adapting Blade of the Immortal, don't you? |

Director - Bee Train
Series Composition - Bee Train Screenplay - Split Storyboard - Bee Train Episode Director - Bee Train Character Design - Bee Train Art Director - Bee Train Animation Director - Split I'm not so sure about that. |

Screenwriters are not tied to individual studios. The art direction is by Production AI not Bee Train. At least one of the Executive producers (Michiru Ishikawa) is from I.G oh and
Planning: Mitsuhisa Ishikawa I.G's very own CEO. and if you need any more convincing A screenshot of the OP Samura liked it enough it seems. He keyed 2 episodes, made a Cameo Role, made a scroll painting and talked one on one with the director. |

So the Art Director. Yoshimi Umino, has been the art director for the following series: .hack//SIGN, .hack//Legend of the Twilight, .hack//Roots, Madlax, Meine Liebe, Murder Princess, and Requiem for the Phantom... and you think that art direction is by Production AI? Per the ANN encyclopedia the only thing Production AI did was background art. And yes, IG did production assistance, but that's different than them being co-producers, meaning that there wasn't an equal share of work done by Bee Train and IG.
